Ben Rimalower

Celebrate the Tony Awards and seven-time nominee, musical theater diva Patti LuPone with Patti Issues, the acclaimed solo play from writer / performer Ben Rimalower. When Ben was eight years old, his father came out of the closet and left his family in tatters. Amid the chaos of his young life, Ben found comfort—like so many gay boys before him—in musical theater, and specifically in the transportive voice of Broadway star Patti LuPone. With a mix of comic irreverence, stark candor and backstage show-biz bravado, Patti Issues poignantly explores the challenges facing LGBT parents and children while shining a unique light on our obsessions with divas. Since opening in 2012, Rimalower has performed Patti Issues world-wide, garnering universal praise from critics and fans alike including Andy Cohen, Billy Eichner, Tony Kushner, Alan Cumming, Laurie Metcalf, Michael Kors, Justin Vivian Bond, Perez Hilton and even Ms. LuPone herself! Don’t miss this two-night-only special engagement at Feinstein’s.
